“The more I feel imperfect, the more I feel alive.”
― Jhumpa Lahiri, In Other Words

“I don’t regret anything I’ve ever done in life, any choice that I’ve made. But I’m consumed with regret for the things I didn’t do, the choices I didn’t make, the things I didn’t say. We spend so much time being afraid of failure, afraid of rejection. But regret is the thing we should fear most. Failure is an answer. Rejection is an answer. Regret is an eternal question you will never have the answer to. “What if…” “If only…” “I wonder what would have…” You will never, never know, and it will haunt you for the rest of your days.”
― Trevor Noah, Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood

“Accept yourself, love yourself, and keep moving forward. If you want to fly, you have to give up what weighs you down.”

“Heaven is all around us. All we need is perception; to extol the melodies of Nature's orchestra.”
